Download or read book Microfluidics for Single Cell Analysis written by Jin-Ming Lin and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-08-28 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book summarizes the various microfluidic-based approaches for single-cell capture, isolation, manipulation, culture and observation, lysis, and analysis. Single-cell analysis reveals the heterogeneities in morphology, functions, composition, and genetic performance of seemingly identical cells, and advances in single-cell analysis can overcome the difficulties arising due to cell heterogeneity in the diagnostics for a targeted model of disease. This book provides a detailed review of the state-of-the-art techniques presenting the pros and cons of each of these methods. It also offers lessons learned and tips from front-line investigators to help researchers overcome bottlenecks in their own studies. Highlighting a number of techniques, such as microfluidic droplet techniques, combined microfluidics-mass-spectrometry systems, and nanochannel sampling, it describes in detail a new microfluidic chip-based live single-cell extractor (LSCE) developed in the editor’s laboratory, which opens up new avenues to use open microfluidics in single-cell extraction, single-cell mass spectrometric analysis, single-cell adhesion analysis and subcellular operations. Serving as both an elementary introduction and advanced guidebook, this book interests and inspires scholars and students who are currently studying or wish to study microfluidics-based cell analysis methods.
Download or read book Ancestral Meridians written by Odie Hawkins and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2017-02-16 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The central idea/premise behind Ancestral Meridians is that there are undiscovered acupuncture points that could lead mankind to higher spiritual and emotional planes. Ancestral Meridians is designed to explore the possibility that these points may exist. It should be clearly understood that acupuncture is not the sole instrument used to explore the undiscovered but may create the conduit for a flow of information from an area, or areas, previously unknown. Ancestral Meridians is a modern novel divided into three main story lines, with linking substories woven into and throughout the narrative. The action of the work takes place in America, Ancient Egypt, India, and modern-day China. The stories in Ancestral Meridians are revealed by Dr. Daniel Lane II and Dr. Jonathan Hoover, both acupuncturists.

Download or read book Integrated Microfluidic Device for Single cell High Throughput Screening in Dynamic Gene Expression Analysis written by Lawrence Kwan Yeung Hui and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decade, interest in microfluidics has surged as applications have trended towards novel biological assays. Specifically, the ability of microfluidics to parallelize cellular studies through array-based chip designs has attracted researchers interested in investigating cellular function under a wide variety of environmental conditions. The capability of microfluidic devices to control microenvironment conditions and induce dynamic perturbation to cellular systems makes microfluidics (or "lab-on-a-chip") an attractive platform to study gene expression dynamics. In this project, the functionality of microfluidic technology is exploited to design and construct a device for isolation and observation of cells in high throughput. The integration of a concentration gradient with homogenous medium within each chamber was designed specifically to investigate gene regulation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae under various concentrations of chemical inducers. These devices were designed to sustain cells for extended periods of time with high temporal resolution to study dynamic gene expression in single cells. The device builds on previous studies by probing up to eight distinct cell cultures in parallel. The microfluidic platform was then used to study yeast cells at various levels of inducer perturbations. Further experimentation revealed the utility of a parallel gradient by producing an induction curve of the yeast response. Such high-throughput designs will prove essential to yeast systems biology research as it strives to understand the complex regulatory interactions that dictate cell function by probing vast regions of parameter space.

Download or read book Unravelling Single Cell Genomics written by Nathalie Bontoux and published by Royal Society of Chemistry. This book was released on 2010-10-18 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique introduction to the growing field of microfluidics applied to genomics provides an overview of the latest technologies and emphasizes its potential in answering important biological questions. Written by a physicist and a biologist, it offers a more comprehensive view than the previous literature. The book starts with key ideas in molecular biology, developmental biology and microtechnology before going on to cover the specifics of single cell analysis and microfluidic devices for single cell molecular analysis. Review chapters discuss the state-of-the art and will prove invaluable to all those planning to develop microdevices for molecular analysis of single cells. Methods allowing complete analysis of gene expression in the single cell are stressed - as opposed the more commonly used techniques that allow analysis of only a few genes at a time. As pioneers in the field, the authors understand how critical it is for a physicist to understand the biological issues and questions related to single cell analysis, as well for biologists to understand what microfluidics is all about. Aimed predominantly at graduate students, this book will also be of significant interest to scientists working in or affiliated with this field.
